"Wonderful smoke!!"
I bought a 5-pack as a birthday present to myself -- and now I can't wait to purchase a 20-pack. This was just a wonderful, mellow smoke from start to finish -- a genuine delight.

"Organic Belongs In A Health Food Store"
Just didn't work for me, the notes were not natural, and organic should not be in a cigar. It belongs in the health food store with the purple potato chips.

"Great relaxing cigar"
Bought this in a Famous sampler and let it sit for a couple of months. Really impressed. Too bad these reviews just drive the prices up haha.

"I was Wrong"
I am a big fan of full-bodied Dominican cigars (Avo, Fuente, Davidoff, etc.), and I have spent a good deal of time badmouthing Nigaraguan tocacco in my review of cigars on the Famous website.
I was Wrong.
I recieved a free 5-pack of these with my last $200 order, and my conclusion is that this cigar is absolutely outstanding. I rate it close to the communist-made Cohiba Robusto, which is in my opinion the best cigar avaialable anywhere (notwithstanding the country of origin). It is rated as a mild to meduium bodied cigar, but I think it is closer to full bodied. The flavor is slightly sweet but not overpoweringly so, and it has a great complex spicy aftertaste. I can't believe this is a non-cuban product, and at less than $5 when you buy from Famous in the five pack it is an absolute steal. Highly recommended!

"Dayum!"
I was curious when I saw that these were certified organic, so set my sights on the 12 pack with travel humidor at the auction. Well I won! They came in today and I put away 11 and smoked the 12th one. Man, was I glad I won that auction! It is so smooth and nice with a mild bready flavor. It is definately a real treat. I reccomend it to any new smoker who wants a mild cigar with "taste". While it won't replace my Quintero maduro or Don Tomas maduro as a "go to" cigar, It is certainly my new "Special Ocassion" cigar. The only negative is that they are pricey, but even so they are worth it, although for my budget I'm better off trying to win them at auction.

"Righteous smoke from start to finish!!!"
The Plasencia Reserva Organica is the real deal. Well constructed, with a smooth and juicy draw. A natural cocoa/nutty flavor builds and blossoms. You can't go wrong with this one, and it's cheap enough to be a daily smoker.
